Need to Ensure Energy Security in the Long Run Necessitates Use of Smart Gas Meters


Smart gas meters are devices that display gas usage readings based on two-way communication between energy suppliers, energy meters, distributors, and energy consumers. In commercial and industrial, and residential sectors, consistently increasing energy needs have necessitated energy companies to adopt measures to ascertain energy security in the long run. Thus, gas is increasingly being accepted as a mainstream utility, leading to the installation of smart devices to gain maximum value.

In this regard, to curb greenhouse gas emissions, international environmental agencies are mandating the utilization of smart gas meters keep a check on energy consumption for all purposes. The adoption of smart gas meters is touted as the formidable solution that can address the problem effectively.

In energy distribution networks, energy theft, which amounts to significant loss both monetarily and in the volume of gas, needs urgent attention as well. To address such problems, several governments around the world are taking efforts to keep a check on such happenings. For instance, in Brazil, the government has devised programs to roll out smart gas meters to curb energy theft. Other developing countries are expected to follow suit for the said benefit of reducing energy theft.

Meter Data Management Leads Global Smart Gas Meter Market

The global smart gas meter market is divided on the basis of technology, end user, and geography. The various segments of the smart gas mater market on the basis of technology are meter data management (MDM), geographic information system (GIS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and others. Amongst all, it is the meter data management segment that held almost 60% of the smart gas meter market in 2014.


On the basis of end user, commercial and industrial and residential are the two segments of the smart gas meter market. In 2014, whilst the residential segment accounted for a dominant 75% of the market. In residential buildings, energy companies often offer incentives for the installation of these devices, which accounts for the large market share of the residential end-use segment.

Issuance of Regulatory Mandates to Reduce Carbon Footprint Benefits Smart Gas Meter Market in Emerging Nations

The smart gas meter market has five regional segments, namely North America, Asia Pacific, South and Central America, Europe, and Middle East and Africa. In 2014, North America held the largest market share, accounting for 64% of the global market of smart gas meters. In Europe, government mandates to curb the carbon footprint are driving the installation of smart gas meters. The U.K, France, and Italy will emerge as key markets for smart gas meters in the near future in the region.

In 2014, Asia Pacific stood third in terms of revenue in the smart gas meter market. The Middle East and Africa regional segment exhibited slow growth, however, stringent regulatory norms that will come in place to reduce greenhouse gases will boost the demand for smart gas meters in these regions in the coming years.
